Lauten TOM MIC
The Lauten Audio Tom Mic is a FET condenser microphone with a 32 mm super-cardioid capsule, designed for rack and floor toms. It limits cymbal bleed with up to 28 dB of off-axis rejection.
Introducing the Lauten Audio Tom Mic
The Lauten Audio Tom Mic is a FET condenser microphone designed for rack toms and floor toms. Its 32 mm super-cardioid capsule and dual-bias circuitry capture the impact and tone of the tom while limiting the bleed from nearby cymbals. It is meant for studio and live engineers who want a microphone dedicated to drums.
The microphone ships with an articulating swivel mount and a zippered Cordura bag. It offers the power of a condenser with better rejection than a dynamic microphone.
Why choose the Lauten Audio Tom Mic?
For a studio engineer or live technician who wants a microphone dedicated to toms, the Tom Mic offers a frequency response shaped for drums: a lift between 1 kHz and 2 kHz, a sharp dip at 3 kHz for snap, then a rise around 5 kHz for attack. Sensitivity is reduced from 9 kHz to 14 kHz to soften cymbals.
Selectable filters
Two families of filters change how the microphone behaves. On the low pass, choose between flat, 12 kHz and 5 kHz. On the high pass, choose between flat, 80 Hz and 140 Hz.
